“Mortgage lending has made a sleepy start to 2015, but June’s CML figures show a market awakening from its slumber and going about its business. The nightmare caused by the pre-election uncertainty is well and truly over and home loan borrowers are able to act more decisively now the political pitch is set.

“There is concern among some specialist finance providers that their business levels will suffer now that high street lenders have regained their appetite, but just because mortgage activity levels have picked up, it doesn’t mean that banks are displaying the same enthusiasm to lend to businesses and developers. They have been ably supported by short-term finance over the last few years and won’t abandon this useful source of funding in a hurry.”
